Welcome back to The Radio Times Writers' Room!
Golaszewski started out as part of the comedy troupe Cowards alongside Tim Key, Tom Basden and Lloyd Woolf, while his first one-off TV pilot, titled Things Talk, was released in 2009.
Proving the doubters wrong, the series was a success, and Golaszewski returned to the BBC in 2016 for a new series, Mum, now on BBC Two. Starring Lesley Manville, the series ran for three seasons and was critically acclaimed, winning multiple awards and being nominated for even more.
Despite receiving strong critical reviews, the series proved divisive upon its BBC One broadcast – something Golaszewski admits he should have expected, given that he purposefully wrote a show that "goes against all the norms of drama, and does it kind of wilfully and deliberately".
Now, Golaszewski, firmly in his drama era, is back with a new six-part series, Babies. Starring Paapa Essiedu and Siobhán Cullen, the series follows a couple in their thirties who are trying for a baby, and experience multiple pregnancy losses and miscarriages.
During our chat, Golaszewski spoke about his specificity with dialogue, his thoughts on potentially taking on an adaptation or co-writing a series, and his experience trying to top up his foreign phone allowance so he could speak to Sean Bean.
"I think often, fiction portrays people as knowing what they feel and knowing how to talk about it," he said. "And I think the truth of the world is that we tend to not know what we feel and we've got no idea how to talk about it.
"Children are coming along, or the want of children. Careers start to happen, friendship groups start to separate, people start to move away, and the things that got you through your 20s and your teens start no longer to work. They're tools that no longer apply to the life that you're living."
"And Dave, for example... my note to Jack about Dave was that he's probably most comfortable in a bar, because in a bar you don't actually have to say anything that means anything. It's just noise. The noise of a bar prevents any kind of actual conversation, and that's very good for someone like Dave, because it means you can just surf across the top of it.
"So the problems in communication in the show, I think, are to do with people trying to navigate the enormous things they feel inside them. And the only way we have, as humans, of navigating those things, is through words. And words aren't enough."
Next time, we will be chatting with Richard Gadd, the writer, actor and comedian best-known for creating smash hit, genre-bending Netflix series Baby Reindeer. He will be talking to us all about his new BBC and HBO series Half Man – don't miss it!
